Spring is upon us now and we are getting more and more day light coming into our wonderful gardens and so we wanted to give you 7 unique ideas that we have completed for our customers over the years by our hard working Landscape Gardeners.

Landscape Gardening Tip 1

Gardens are one of the things that provide a property with its character, you can often tell a lot about a house and its owners by the garden and how well it is kept. This is why our first gardeners in egham tip is to have an inviting entry to your house, just as a porch with flower pots will welcome your guests to the door, a well kept and trim hedge approach with help to be inviting and will become a lovely feature to the front of your home.

Tip 2 - Egham Gardeners

Look to create a winding, meandering path around your garden. Although this can take a couple of years to flourish properly, there is nothing more exciting in a garden than to have a path that leads you to another area in your garden. Our customers love finishing off a day or meal with friends by taking a stroll down the garden and this is all made possible by having suitable winding paths in the garden.

Tip 3 - Roses

Once a year we have the joyous moment where Roses come out and they bring us such great colour, depth and light to the garden. Anyone who grows roses knows one thing: Roses are difficult to get right but when you do they give you such benefits of beauty in your garden.

Tip 4 - Kitchens

Kitchen gardens are all the rage at the moment as more and more of our Egham Gardener customers are starting to get much more into cooking and self production of their own herbs and vegitables. A well kept herb garden that you can nip out of the back door to fetch the ingredients that you want for dinner that night is essential and sustainable.

Tip 5 - Wild Flowers

Wildflowers introduce such a wonderful world and they really dont have any rules. They give the garden itself such a beautiful features and you can pick them and bring into the house. Give it a go, I know you wont be disappointed.

These are very simple tips but we can guarantee that if you try them, you will not be disappointed.

So yes the winter has come and you may find your garden starting to shrivel away looking damp, dull and messy. This is only natural and it’s a good time of year to prepare yourself for the coming spring and get your plans ready for what gardening jobs we can help you with.

​However if you just can’t stand looking outside your window and want to know a few ways to brighten up your garden this winter, we have a few top tips for you.

​Firstly have you thought about planting some evergreen plants? Yes, in the spring and summer they are out shown by all the blossoming and colourful flowers but in the winter they look very tranquil and eye-catching. You can choose from a variety of shapes and colours and they are great as a border around your garden.

​Next is topiary, it can be incredibly valuable in the winter offering some extra structure for frost and snow to decorate. You will hardly notice they are there in the summer but come the winter they look great!

​Have you thought about a statue? A simple but enchanting statue in your garden can draw your attention away from the brown earth and give your garden a more mystical feel for the winter.

​Lastly gardens can seriously lack of colour at this time of year so why not hunt down some plants that add some colour to your garden in the winter. We really like holly or pyracantha the red berries are just perfect for this festive season.

​We hope you have found this helpful and down get down about your garden not quite looking as colourful and lively as it does in the spring, your garden can look beautiful every season and you can really make the most of these festive season by dressing your garden for the occasion.

Landscape Gardeners Egham & Staines would like to say a massive thank you to New Era’s emergency red diesel service last week! Without your extremely efficient and fast cooperation we would have been truly stuck. We were working on a very moving project with one of our customers who really needed the work to be finished by a strict deadline. Each day had a different, very important task for the overall completion of the project. One of these tasks was heavily involving our digger which ran out of red diesel at the most critical moment! Frantically straight away I made a phone call to a fellow businessman, whom strongly recommended me to buy red diesel London and call up there emergency red diesel service. They were amazing! Not only were the team extremely understanding and helpful but they got me a red diesel supply within the same day, and the red diesel prices were really reasonable as well. The project got finished on time and our customers were over the moon with the results and the service we delivered. Thanks again New Era for all your help.
